The coolness of the yogurt nicely complements the spiciness in this Mediterranean dish.

Expert Tips

In Italian, orzo literally means “barley,” but it is actually a tiny, rice-shaped pasta.

Find orzo in the pasta aisle at your local grocery store.

This was better than I thought it would be. I wouldn't really call it Greek...it was more like a healthy and tastier hamburger helper. I use turkey instead of beef and I added in a little lemon pepper and oregano. I also stirred in a wedge of Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese in place of yogurt (I didn't have any on hand). It came out great!

Made this last night and it was incredible! I made three changes, one was to add some spinach about 3 minutes before it was done, then top it with some feta cheese and add some Greek seasoning to the yogurt. Hubby said he could eat it a couple times a week. Incredible!
